Two smiling people pose in front of a red-draped altar for a Diwali naivedyam offering. The man on the left is bare-chested, wearing a black headband, white urdhva-pundra forehead lines with a red bindi, a red rudraksha mala and a pendant necklace, with tattoos on his chest and arm. The woman on the right wears a blue blouse and a purple and magenta saree, a white forehead mark with a red dot, and rudraksha beads. Behind them a framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure in a red turban, garlanded with red flowers, is set in gold tinsel, with a deity murti and yellow and red flowers beside it. The table holds a large spread of fruit, bowls of sweets and food, and small terracotta oil lamps.
